Value Adding Patterns in Product Deployment across Life Stages
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consumer products are deployed from market-in stage through growing-up stage to maturated stage by gradually shifting their appealing features from fundamental functions to supplemental value-addition over their life stages. This paper investigates the underlying design patterns in such product deployment toward revealing design knowledge with wider and longer visions. After the analysis procedure is organized by combining quality function deployment (QFD), cost-and-worth assessment in value engineering and cost estimation methods, design changes across three different vacuum cleaners for Japanese market in the last three decades are investigated as an example case. The gotten empirical results indicate the possibility in articulating design knowledge for efficient product definition toward design deployment across life stages.

متن کاملMulti-objective optimization approach for cost management during product design at the conceptual phase
The effective cost management during the conceptual design phase of a product is essential to develop a product with minimum cost and desired quality. The integration of the methodologies of quality function deployment (QFD), value engineering (VE) and target costing (TC) could be applied to the continuous improvement of any product during product development. To optimize customer satisfaction ...

متن کاملAn EPQ Model for Product Life Cycle (Maturity Stage) with Deteriorating Items and Shortages
A product life cycle is the life span of a product in which the period begins with the initial product specification and ends with the withdrawal from the market of both the product and its support. A product life cycle can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. This study investigates inventory control policies in a manufacturing system for a si...
